That We May Rejoice!

**As time has permitted I have been going through some of my old writings.  So as to let go of my "paper weight" I will be posting those here**

Today's post originally written December 1, 2011

Psalm 90:14  O satisfy us early with thy mercy: that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. 

Teach us, all of us, Lord, to live wise as a serpent, yet be harmless as doves, living to satisfy You!  Oh Lord, teach me to live well!

When I feel too alone, please come quick!  Come to my aid, help me.  Treat me, your servant, with kindness.  When each day breaks anew and fresh, surprise me with the gift of Your steadfast love that I shall feel renewed and be able to skip and dance all day long.  Oh Lord, make up some of those bad times with some good times.  Allow your servant to see what YOU are best at...the ways YOU rule and bless YOUR children!

You know the way I take.  Bring about the truth of what I am, establish me.  Dispel any doubts that others may have about me. Confirm the report that the work I do is indeed true; that I am genuine.  Let Your inspiring love and affection rest upon me.  Settle me, give me peace for the journey.  Amen.

Just felt to write this today as a little prayer to the Savior.  Hope someone can be uplifted, encouraged, and feel renewed by it.  May you feel God's mercy today.  Reach for the promise that His Word says.  His mercies are new every morning!  Great is His faithfulness!!!

MERCY: the compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within one's power to punish or harm.
FAITHFULNESS: adhering firmly and devotedly to someone, cause, or idea.
ADHERE: stick fast to a surface or substance, believe in and follow the practices of.

Our God is full of compassion and forgiveness.  He is devoted to us.  He sticks closer than a brother.  He believes in you, my sister!  He leads you, He follows you, He walks (and even runs) beside you.  There is no place you can be that He hasn't been there already! What a good, good God!  Rejoice today.  Show your great joy and delight in the Master of it all.  Look to Jesus, the author and finisher.  He will satisfy.  He will meet your need or desire.  He will fulfill you.
